Renting a 2BR to a Parent with 2 children of different sex
We have a recently divorced applicant wanting to rent a 2bedroom apartment. He has 2 children boy age 9 and girl age 13. He does not have the children full time but he does weekends and other random weeks.
I was under the impression that when renting, children of the opposite sex could not share a bedroom. If that is the case do I rent to him? On what grounds do you approve or deny?
Is the children sharing a room of opposite sex only for section 8? I also know this applies for adoptive children.
Please help as I don't know what to do
Thank you in advance for your help

Why would you notify them ?
Because if you hang on the phone for the ten minutes while they are laughing they will solve your dilemma.
